Chapter 188: Chapter 169: The Sword and a Brand New Opportunity!

Sword...

How could it be a sword?

Yes, perhaps the sword has a spirit too!

Wu Xiaode looked towards that sword.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his heart:

"Many spirits crave these five points of Merit, but I am the sword spirit most suited for your current situation. You can call me ’Chi Xiao’."

"Chi Xiao?" Wu Xiaode asked, puzzled.

"That is also the name of the sword," the Sword Spirit replied.

"Hello, I am Little Wu."

Wu Xiaode examined the long sword and said.

The sword just stood there, and visions continuously emerged from the Void around it.

—It was incredibly majestic, making it impossible to look away.

The long sword flew down from the surrounding wall and hummed, "Let’s start working."

"My assignment seems quite difficult, how shall we cooperate next?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You need to first understand my power, then you can unleash my strength. Now, I will tell you how to use me," the Sword Spirit explained.

It conveyed an idea to him.

Wu Xiaode felt a series of realizations dawn upon him, quickly grasping the sword’s power.

The Book of the Dead also displayed corresponding ice crystal script:

"Sword Spirit: Chi Xiao."

"A unique item, a Divine Artifact."

"—Arrived in your hands to accumulate Merit."

"This Sword Spirit possesses three powers:"

"Unpredictable: You can spend a point of Soul Power to add a new ability to this sword and replace it at any time;"

"Magpie Bridge Return Path: Spend a point of Soul Power to activate this ability and teleport to any place you have visited."

"Planting Immortal Fate: A special class ability, which must be invoked by the Sword Spirit itself, this ability grants any recognized being a single opportunity to ascend."

"—Any being can only have one instance of Planting Immortal Fate, and never a second."

Wu Xiaode held his breath as he finished reading, recalling Deng Hou’s words.

This sword is definitely a Spiritual Artifact!

It’s even a Divine Artifact beyond a regular Spiritual Artifact, so it is a "unique item" and possesses its own consciousness.

Wu Xiaode reviewed the attributes of the Divine Sword again and couldn’t help but sigh:

"I had never imagined that such powerful weapons existed in the world."

"Powerful weapons are plentiful, I had a few friends before, but, unfortunately, they all went to the All Worlds. Their strength was not weak either," Chi Xiao Sword said.

"No wonder it was you who took the commission... because you can take me back," Wu Xiaode said.

"Do you want to go back now?" Chi Xiao Sword asked.

"Yes," Wu Xiaode replied.

The Chi Xiao Sword fell, and instantly merged into his body.

In an instant.

A line of ice crystal script emerged:

"Now you possess the power of the Sword Spirit, you can use ’Unpredictable’ and ’Magpie Bridge Return Path’ powers at any time."

With a thought from Wu Xiaode.

Swoosh—

He shot through the sky and instantly vanished.

...

Death Realm.

Battlefield.

It was still that forest.

The Void opened.

Wu Xiaode walked out from it.

A line of ice crystal script appeared in front of his eyes:

"You’ve spent a point of Soul Power, activating Chi Xiao Sword Spirit’s power: Magpie Bridge Return Path."

"You’ve returned to the Death Realm."

"As you possess a point of Eternal Soul Power, your current Soul Power remains at one."

All the script retracted.

"Dude, where have you been?" Rotten Bone asked curiously.

"Handled some personal affairs... What’s the situation now?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Don’t know, but us at this level, joining a level 30 battle is pushing it, better just stay put here," Rotten Bone replied.

Wu Xiaode was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Don’t move around here, guard the boundary marker, I’ll go have a look around."

"Okay, be safe," Rotten Bone said.

Wu Xiaode’s figure shook, and he quickly swept away, leaving the forest.

First—

He needed to complete this trial.

But his strength was insufficient for the real battle in the battlefield.

What to do?

—Increase his strength, directly elevating his Soul Power limit to thirty points.

Moreover, he had to be wary of that guy in the sky.

How should he do it?

Wu Xiaode had a thought and activated "Unpredictable."

Three lines of ice crystal script instantly appeared:

"You have spent a point of Soul Power, adding a new ability to this sword:"

"Immovable."

"Description: No force can move you an inch."

No good.

This ability couldn’t help him tackle the current situation.

—Fortunately, he had a point of Eternal Soul Power, enough to cope with the situation.

Wu Xiaode again activated "Unpredictable."

Again, three lines of ice crystal script appeared:

"You have spent a point of Soul Power, canceled ’Immovable,’ and replaced it with a new ability:"

"All Things Persona."

"Description: You can transform into anything and will not be discovered by any being below level 50."

This won’t work either...

But Wu Xiaode suddenly realized what a terrifying thing this was.

He could endlessly switch skills!

So there must be some kind of probability of gaining the power you desire.

——This would be enough to handle countless situations!

The lazy voice of the Chi Xiao Sword rang out, "Cool, right? The moment I saw you, I knew you and I were the perfect partners. We get to play and earn Merit. Couldn’t be more comfy."

"We indeed are the best partners," Wu Xiaode chuckled.

"Mainly because you, kid, have quite the guts; ignoring the benefits of starting over through time travel and instead choosing to fight. I really like that about you," Chi Xiao Sword said.

"You like fighting too?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"At our level, weapons only get stronger as they are used. Who wouldn’t like fighting!" Chi Xiao Sword said.

While they were talking, Wu Xiaode activated "Unpredictable Spirits" once again.

A line of ice crystal text subsequently appeared:

"You’ve spent a point of Soul Power, canceled ’All Things Transformation,’ and replaced this sword’s ability with a new one:"

"Green Hat."

"Description: You can sacrifice some important characters to gain a divine power that can kill your target in one shot."

Wu Xiaode hadn’t even finished reading before he changed that ability out.

"Is there a way to wipe out all the enemies in one go?" he asked as he continued swapping abilities.

"Yes," Chi Xiao Sword said.

"Then why haven’t I come across it yet?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Those are ’moves,’ not ’abilities.’ If you want such moves, you need to increase your limit of Soul Power. Otherwise, even if you get the move, you won’t be able to use it," Chi Xiao Sword explained.

Moves...

With that thought, Wu Xiaode immediately opened the Book of the Dead, turning to the page of the "Wall of Sighs."

Indeed.

The dirty magic hand leveled up twice, transforming into Thousand Hands.

The Silent Demon Mist also advanced to Fog Shadow.

And there were Sword Skill "Lone Journey in Snow" and Swordsmanship "Long Moon Sparse Shadow."

Ultimately, it still came down to needing to increase the Soul Power limit.

Suddenly, the Sword Spirit spoke again, "Well, since your current situation is so dire, I think I might as well help you plant an Immortal Fate. Whether it’ll succeed or not depends on you."

As soon as the voice faded.

A row of ice crystal text burst forth on the Book of the Dead:

"Chi Xiao Sword Spirit has launched ’Planting Immortal Fate’ against you."

"With this divine power, you are given a chance to enhance your strength—"

"Book of the Dead initiates a time-limited activation mission!"

"You have one hour to gather the admiration and appreciation of 10,000 souls."

"Complete the mission, and the book will open a brand new wall."

"If you fail, the book’s abilities will remain at their current level, maintaining only ’Wish Wall’ and ’Wall of Sighs,’ and no new walls will ever emerge."

"Start!"

Yet another timed mission!

Just like when the "Wall of Sighs" was awakened.

But currently, he was in the Death Realm, where everyone was dead. Where could he find ten thousand souls?

Wu Xiaode became anxious.

Souls...

He had to return.

But in the real world, the Demon Gods had already gone into hiding and were devising ways to find him.

Was he supposed to go back and stream live?

——Looking for a quicker death?

Was there any other way...

The only option was to use the power of Chi Xiao Sword!

Wu Xiaode continued to activate "Reading Signs."

After swapping abilities seven or eight times, one finally caught his attention.

"Hmm?"

Wu Xiaode suddenly paused and looked towards the Book of the Dead.

A line of ice crystal text appeared mid-air:

"You’ve spent a point of Soul Power, canceled ’Dragon Protection,’ and replaced this sword’s ability with a new one:"

"Resulting Cause."

"Using this ability, you can activate a power you would only possibly have in the future and use it once."

This ability was interesting.

If he used it on the third wall, wouldn’t that allow him to see what use the wall actually had?

Both the Wish Wall and the Wall of Sighs had incredibly important uses.

If this wall turned out to be impressive and could help within this hour, wouldn’t that solve the current problem?

With this thought, Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand, touched the Book of the Dead, and shouted:

"Resulting Cause."

The blank wall gradually revealed various lights and shadows.

A huge number appeared on the wall:

"5."

5? 5 what?

Wu Xiaode was curious.

The number then changed to "4."

Followed by "3," "2," "1."

The number completely disappeared.

The wall lit up like a movie screen.

Wu Xiaode saw himself and the lifeless trees and stones around him displayed on the wall.

——Does this wall have a camera?

Why would it display his current situation on the wall?

Wu Xiaode felt utterly confused and clueless about what was happening.

Suddenly.

Rows of new ice crystal text appeared on the wall, visible to Wu Xiaode:

"Current World: Death Realm."

"Character Nickname: ?"

"Note:"

"This livestream is directed towards All Worlds, connecting all information platforms for broadcast."

"You must quickly choose a nickname for yourself."

"Everything gained in this livestream can directly appear in your Book of the Dead."

"Please take this seriously!"
